What we ...Thanks Simon, that’s really provocative.<br /><br />What we need in a sense is so simple. For everyone to be able to have a positive role in life, that they enjoy - and to benefit from the many good things we see in this world. With all the advances in technology over the last century, that should be more and more possible - even easy - but instead those who can continue to abuse those less fortunate or less strong. <br /><br />It would be so wonderful to see the world shift towards the right direction, with the church playing her given role. I think it will continue to be a huge challenge for us to make the real change and start to consider (and actually treat) others as more important than ourselves.....it will happen though, somehow! I hope I can get involved....Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00938258334872893988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9901815.post-68828057553884897182020-05-10T16:17:12.201+01:002020-05-10T16:17:12.201+01:00Thank you Simon. I hope this finds you well and yo...Thank you Simon. I hope this finds you well and your Friends and Family too. Grace still has hanging in her room a piece of craft she made at Messy Church, a bird with the verse in Matthew 6:26 and I found myself drawn to it when the lockdown began like so many without the answers. Nature is a beautiful illustration of how to act isn't it. But what you're saying and hoping for goes much further to my mind, using this time as a great opportunity to bring about change that is better for all not just seeking personal reassurance, but also showing the necessary courage to allow in God's help and not deny it, for the sake of everyone else. The folks at the wheel have a duty to consider the rights and needs of their passengers, may be pull over for a moment and listen. So as you told me once, we should pray that those at the wheel don't try to go it alone and ask for God's help, and act on it well. James Jamesnoreply@blogger.com
